This image shows the colour change on the Charm Bar.

The Windows Store is also appeared in this build.

In other Windows 8, WinUnleaked.tk, released a new video demonstrating the closing of Metro applications within Windows 8. Currently in the Windows Developer Preview, you can only suspend an app from the Metro UI, and cann’t close it without entering the task manager and ending the process. With the latest builds of Windows 8, Microsoft are out to change that and make closing applications easier for the end user.

And, Win8china is reporting to have grabbed a screenshot of a new Windows 8 build that shows a “PC Settings” folder in the Metro user interface.

“This new “PC Settings” section is in fact a replacement for the familiar “Control Panel” folder that has been a fixture of previous Windows operating systems. The site also claims that the new PC Settings section has “lots of added functions”. Unfortunately, the site declined to state exactly what these extra features are in this new build.”
